Nice. I'm thinking of changing wheels soon as I've never had PFF7s on the car and really want them. I currently have lightweight forged BBS 18s from a hatch so Prodrive wheels may be considered by some as a downgrade, but I likes'em.

So when do we find out about your new ones?

Tis a good deal but looks like it's collection only now. The offset is a tad low too, hopefully they won't rub.

On the arches. Aren't they about 30mm offset when standard is about 56mm. That would mean they stick out an extra inch. I think.

I think they are clearance stock and sat in storage for years. The ones on eBay say the tyre stamp shows the tyres are around ten years old. And your right, tyres are a tad narrow and with an oversized sidewall. It may all still work out though
